Crossing the Border (The Norma Arm Initiative Pt.2 )
06 May 2019Triscus
Now I've finished about three quarter of the waypoints of the Norma Arm Initiative, about 15k LY from the starting Point. My highlight in the last days was to see the first black hole with my own eyes. Dropping out from supercruise instantly while arriving the system was really unexpecting and the surreal look of the lights filled me with awe. Though there are many neutron stars in the area I decided to take the country road to do some scanning, this is the point of an exedition, amitrite? I also was able to do a patrol run for Canonn Research, which I recently joined. The patrol was only about 400 LY away, so it was easy to do.
There are many unexplored systems but the last results weren't this valuable. Out of boredom I consulted the FSS-Manual to find out it displays the number of found location on a planet if there are any. Quite useful as one doesn't have to race around and make a detailed surface scan of every planet. Should've know before.
There are three waypoints left and about 5000 LY to go. I think I will continue at the slower pace, still curious what things are there to discover. Luckily I have Galflix on board so things should'nt become too bored.
Another highlight was to visit the Conflux Beta Site at Pru Aescs HW-S b31-2:
I was wondering why the planet was completely in the dark as there was a star nearby:
